Rivers Rolls Ankle In Practice... Should Still Play

The New Orleans Hornets rookie guard Austin Rivers rolled his right ankle during Monday's practice, but team officials said he is not expected to miss any time. Rivers, the 10th overall pick in the June NBA draft, has already had an injury-marred stretch with two left ankle sprains and a sprained left index finger that forced him to miss last week's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

What is with Rivers and his ankles? When I saw him roll his ankle against Dallas, it almost looked as if his shoes were too big for him. I am sure that is not it (as we have trainers to ensure that), but it gave that impression.
